Hello. We fly in June 2014 from Tokyo to Moscow (the city of our residence, Russian citizenship) with a transfer in Shanghai (less than a day). We plan to go to the city and spend the night in a hotel in Shanghai. What will be the demands of the Chinese side to us? Do I need consent to leave the child from my father (a child of 13 years old flies with my mother, will my father agree to travel to Japan)? If so, can this consent be made on one form (consent to travel to Japan and China)?

Answer Larissa Barysheva
Good afternoon! Thank you for asking!

In your case, the registration of a Chinese visa is not required, since you can take advantage of a 72-hour visa-free transit provided there are a / tickets and boarding passes for flights Tokyo-Shanghai-Moscow. The agreement on the departure of a minor child is required for traveling outside the Russian Federation, it must be formalized for a specific trip with exact dates and certain visiting states.
